For fishermen and sailors in the seaside town of Shangpan in Linhai, Zhejiang province, where recently 12 stranded（搁浅的）whales were found, it is not unusual to spot whales or dolphins in the sea — they would always call them haizi, or “son of the ocean”. And if the local fishermen spot such intelligent sea creatures in need, they will save them from danger without hesitation.
In the recent rescue of melon-headed whales, they tried their best to help as a 37-second video of a young man sleeping in the water holding a whale soon went viral online, with netizens applauding his constant efforts and caring heart in trying to keep the whale alive. “The melon-headed whale knew I was trying to save it and would be more cooperative and wouldn’t move.” said Lu Wenhui, a 21-year-old diver from Hangzhou Changqiao Polar Ocean Park, who held up the whale’s head so it could breathe easily. Lu had been staying in the water for 10 hours by 4 a.m. Wednesday after coming for the rescue work on Tuesday, when the stranded whales were first spotted.
“Whales are mammals and need to breathe in air — that’s why I had to hold its head, to ensure it could breathe smoothly the whole time,” Lu said. The stranded whales, after the struggling of being transported, were worn out when they arrived at the fish farm and might have drowned if they were left unattended.
The reason why the whales were stranded is still not clear. And these stranded whales were returned to the ocean because they are not adapted to artificial breeding environments on land. 4. What do local fishermen usually do after finding haizi in danger? A. Ignore them. B. Feed them. C. Transport them. D. Protect them.
5. Why does the author describe Lu’s rescue work?
A. To introduce the whales in detail. B. To voice his views on the diver. C. To praise the efforts made by rescuers. D. To explain the value of the whales. 6. What can we say about the melon-headed whales according to the text? A. They are rarely seen by locals. B. They are used to breathing in the sea. C. They aren’t suited to artificial surroundings. D. They are fond of swimming near the seaside.
7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Melon-headed Whales Were Stranded B. Rescuers Went All out to Help Whales C. Fishermen Transported Stranded Whales D. Witnesses Voiced Opinions on Rescue Work
C
Disease-carrying mosquitoes can spread diseases without affecting themselves. Nearly 700 million people get a mosquito-borne illness each year, which results in over one million deaths. Humans experience continuous pressures from disease-carrying mosquitoes in many parts of the world, so we have to find ways to fight against those insects because they keep getting scarier.
Even though DEET remains the most commonly used, and most powerful, mosquito repellent ever developed, scientists are actively pursuing effective products based entirely on plant oils. While DEET is an effective contact repellent, many people dislike the oily feel and smell on their skin, and sometimes some people are sensitive to it. Consumers are always interested in alternatives to DEET and other synthetic repellents, so there are numerous natural repellents on the market.
In his lab atIowaStateUniversity, Dr. Joel Coats and his team have successfully tested these repellents against three species of dangerous mosquitoes. The first group of the new repellents act through the air. These chemicals have a vapor action that provides protection, and they are called “spatial” repellents, since they act through space. These are potentially most useful in backyards, parks, and houses. The other group are the classic ones that stop insects from standing on a treated surface, such as human skin, clothing or tents; collaborators at the USDA-ARS and BioGents have conducted testing with humans to confirm the effectiveness and identify the very best ones.
The new repellents were designed and made from the natural materials in plant essential oils. They maintain
many of the advantages of the natural repellents: They are fully biodegradable, with no ecological concerns or environmental wastes, and generally considered safe like the thousands of types of plant essential oils used in the flavor and perfume industries. However, thorough testing will be conducted to determine if they are truly non-poisonous because there is still no enough evidence. 8. What does the author mainly want to show in paragraph 1? A. The way mosquitoes spread disease. B. The high death rate of mosquito-borne illness. C. The difficulty of fighting disease-carrying mosquitoes. D. The urgency of finding tools to fight against mosquitoes. 9. What is a disadvantage of DEET?
A. It won’t be effective for long. B. It can’t be applied universally. C. It causes discomfort to the users. D. It greatly harms people’s health. 10. What can we learn about the second group of the new repellents? A. They can kill mosquitoes indirectly. B. They are mainly used in the open air. C. They are more effective on human skin.
D. They can prevent mosquitoes from contacting users. 11. What’s the author’s attitude to the new repellents? A. Subjective. B. Objective. C. Doubtful. D. Disapproving.
D
What will people die of 100 years from now? If you think that is a simple question，you have not been paying attention to the revolution that is taking place in bio-technology（生物技术）. With the help of new medicine，the human body will last a very long time. Death will come mainly from accidents，murder and war. Today’s leading killers，such as heart disease，cancer，and aging itself，will become distant memories.
In discussion of technological changes，the Internet gets most of the attention these days. But the change in medicine can be the real technological event of our times. How long can humans live? Human brains were known to decide the final death. Cells（细胞）are the basic units of all living things，and until recently，scientists were sure that the life of cells could not go much beyond 120 years because the basic materials of cells，such as those of brain cells，would not last forever. But the upper limits will be broken by new medicine. Sometime between 2050
and 2100，medicine will have advanced to the point at which every 10 years or so，people will beable to take medicine to repair their organs（器官）. The medicine，made up of the basic building materials of life，will build new brain cells，heart cells，and so on－in much the same way our bodies make new skin cells to take the place of old ones.
It is exciting to imagine that the advance in technology may be changing the most basic condition of human existence，but many technical problems still must be cleared up on the way to this wonderful future. 12. According to the passage，human death is now mainly caused by ________. A. diseases and aging B. accidents and war C. accidents and aging D. heart disease and war
13. In the author’s opinion，today’s most important advance in technology lies in（在于）________. A. the Internet B. medicine C. brain cells D. human organs
14. Humans may live longer in the future because ________. A. heart disease will be far away from us B. human brains can decide the final death C. the basic materials of cells will last forever D. human organs can be repaired by new medicine
15. How long can humans live in the future according to the passage? A. Over 100 years. B. More than 120 years. C. About 150 years.
D. The passage doesn’t tell us.

In the summer of 2002, Linda was about to enter sixth grade after having recently moved. Being new to town, her mother decided to sign her up for Girl Scouts(女童子军). The benefits of the Girl Scouts were well-known:developing leadership skills, creating a strong sense of self, encouraging healthy relationships among others. One of the most important parts of the program involved developing healthy relationships, often leading to unbreakable bonds, sometimes through the Buddy(伙伴) Program.
Soon Linda joined Pisgah Girl Scout Camp in Brevard, North Carolina,where she was paired with a buddy named Rose in a four-person tent. At camp, Linda and Rose's lives were closely connected together. As a Girl Scout, Linda was taught to have someone to rely on, to know where she is going, to talk over things, and to make friends. Little did she know how important that single skill would be in her life.
One afternoon, a storm blew in and sent the girls all to their tents. Lightning(闪电) struck a tree outside the girls' tent. As bad luck would have it, Linda had been standing on her metal bed at the time. Lightning traveled from the metal clothesline between that tree and another one-burning all the bathing suits-went down into the tree roots, which were tied up into the floorboards of the tents, and hit her bed. Very soon, two-thirds of Linda's body was burned. Linda was lying on the floor badly burned and unable to move.
The other three girls in the tent were frightened to death. They screamed and ran from the tent, not noticing what was happening to Linda, but Rose quickly realized her buddy was not among them.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Without a second thought, Rose went back to look for Linda, only to find her on the floor of the tent. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
They finally got back in touch, and together, they toured the camp where they had got to know each other. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
